The Countess of Wessex Studios are situated on the main London Underground lines, on the National Rail network and numerous bus routes; between Southwark (Jubilee Line) and Waterloo stations (Jubilee, Northern, Bakerloo, Waterloo and City Lines and National Rail Services). London is also a bicycle friendly city with numerous cycle lanes, and it is easy to walk around the South Bank area and along the pathways that run next to the river Thames.

A variety of restaurants, markets and food shops to suit every budget featuring across every imaginable cuisine are available on your doorstep. The Countess of Wessex Studios are located near London’s oldest and very famous food market, Borough Market, as well as a variety of restaurants along the South Bank of the River Thames. Students also have access to nearby supermarkets where they can buy food essentials to cook at home.

There is no shortage of things to do or see in London, which is home to internationally renowned museums, theatres, galleries, festivals and more.
